Directions that don't take you through a private business, that is gated
I work for Uber in San Antonio and there are some places it tells me to go through a private business or University and those places are for businesses only and have gates. Then I have to back up and try to find a different way.

Send push notification of danger / police when waze isnt open.
Hi, so let's say you get in your car, you're just going to Walmart. You know where walmart is.. so you don't open waze. There's a cop/ object on road on your road. Waze sends u a push notification alerting you even if it's not actively open on your phone.
Yes this will waste battery but hear me out.
You can make it where you choose what kinds of alerts you want while "offline" and to save battery you can code the app to launch in the background only while driving. So it's not always a background process wasting battery. …3 votes -

option to disable the theme suggestions
option to disable the theme suggestions like Boy George, cats and dogs. Even when “no thanks” selected those themes keep coming back. Not everyone uses voice and want these options. Please make the option to disable those kinds of suggestions.

the accuracy of the live traffic information need to greatly improve uk
the live traffic information hardly ever is accurate, sometimes indicate there is a heavy traffic, but when I took the route, there was no traffic at all, other times there was showed no traffic, but when drove along the route, there was heavy traffic. On the whole, the the live traffic information accuracy is very low, I felt I could not depend on.

Additional categories
The list of categories is quite limited and many places don't really have an appropriate category.
E.g.
Assisted-living facilities (long-term care homes)
Senior homes
Tobacco / vaping / cannabis stores (from the little smoke shops on Indian reservations to the new provincially-regulated cannabis stores in Canada.)
Liquor store (obviously a category people would search for)
Condo complex (either a category, or allow putting a name in a RPP, as we're getting a lot of such suggestions from the end-users in WME)4 votes -
Traffic alerts
I think I will be a good idea for the app to have traffic alerts. Not just saying traffic reported ahead. Based on the speed limit the app to tell you to slow down because of traffic. It will be extremely useful on highways. For example, a kilometer ahead to display/announce such warning and recommendation to slow down. Therefore, drivers will not have to stop abruptly and accidents might be prevented.

Show border line on map
Since the corona virus crossing borders in Europe isn't that easy as before. So it would be nice if I could see the border line clearly on the map. A thick red line for example (like google maps) or something similar would be neat.
It also makes things easier to navigatie if you know whether you entering a different country when planning your route. In Europe, this sometimes could be the case.

Podrian ampliar la distancia de aviso de policía cuando viajas en autopista o tener la opción de configurar distancia ya que 500m es poco
Cuando vas en autopista sería ideal que la policía la alerte antes, es decir 2 kilómetros antes ya que un radar de medición de velocidad actua a esa distancia. Poder definir a cuantos metros quiero que me alerte la policía o que en autopista automaticamente lo alerte a más distancia

cop
Make an alert for if a cop has someone pulled over, so you are aware and can move over, because like in NY theres the move over law where if you don't move over or don't slow down you can get a ticket, so if we know ahead of hand, then we can be prepared.
